Are you on track for a positive financial future? It might be time to check your account.

Consolidate your super accounts

If you have multiple super accounts, merging these into one single Hostplus account could offer lots of positives – like saving money on multiple fees. Plus, because it’s all in one place, you’ll be able to manage and track your investments more easily. Before you consolidate, there’s a lot to consider. Always do your own research or seek financial advice to make sure it’s right for you.1 Follow the link below for more information. 

1. Before consolidating your super, you should check with your existing super fund on whether there are any fees or charges that may apply or any loss of benefits, such as insurance cover. If you have insurance cover with another super fund, you may be able to transfer that cover to Hostplus. To find out if you are eligible visit hostplus.com.au/insurance to learn more. You may also find it beneficial to obtain advice from a licensed financial adviser.

Find your lost super

Many people have unclaimed super – and they don’t even know it! If you’ve switched jobs, forgotten to update your account details, or changed your name or address, you may have some lost super waiting to be found. Here’s how to get it back and working for you.

Make extra contributions

Increase your super balance by making additional payments above and beyond your employer’s compulsory contributions – you’ll be surprised how even small amounts can make a big difference over time.
